Modding this ol' 64' Black Face Deluxe Reverb. The amp has been revamped before

Here's the scoop:

Ch 2: Classic Tonestack (on Back panel), Rock/Jazz, Mid Boost,Bright Switch

Assignable 70's style OD by switch to ch. 1 or 2. An A/B switch will be used instead of a Relay for Channel Switching. Standard style PI with a 12at7, Reverb, Passive effects Loop for use with an External D-lator

1 x EvM12L in the Cab

I attached the Faceplate Below


Here is the amp before the Mods:

You sure? That amp is worth decent $$$ as it is, even with the overzealous overhaul. If it was me, I'd try to get it back close to stock and mod something else.

There's not much of anything that's original on it. The chassis is F'd up. The Ot trafo is non original. The Guy insisted that i mod it so I'mgoing to do what his wishes are. He owns a bunch of these so it's all good. (Believe me I gave him the riot act before committing :)
